I too use the LNE100TX. It would not install for me
during installation either. However, I was able to
use Linuxconf and sometimes Networkconf (or whatever
the drak tool is) to get it working immediately after
install.
Linuxconf will get the LNE100TX working flawlessly.
However, probably because I am too lazy, I have never
tried setting up the network device manually with
ifconfig and such. Well, not from scratch anyway.
However, I have used ifconfig for reporting and
restart and such. ifconfig works flawlessly for me as
far as I can tell so far.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe ifconfig
may require you to be root? If it says that it is not
found, try the same ifconfig command as su and see if
it finds it then. I can't remember off hand what the
permissions are (unfortunately, I am on an NT machine
at the time of this writing). You'd think that you
might at least get status with ifconfig as a user, but
maybe not. Maybe you need to add a networking group
or something. Try it as root and see if it works. If
so, I'd say the problem is simply a permissions
problem.
If you just want to get the LNE100TX working, try
linuxconf.
Write back with more detail if none of this works.
Thanks. Take care.
